The Many Faces of Cancer
As a cancer survivor and thriver, I know how important community and support are when you are facing a cancer diagnosis. That’s why I created The Many Faces of Cancer Podcast.
Each week I will be interviewing amazing people with heartfelt and inspirational stories from all sides of the cancer journey: patients, survivors and thrivers, caregivers, family and friends, and professionals. I may even throw in a bonus episode once in a while talking about things that are important to us all.
We never think it will happen to us, until it does. This podcast will be about community, knowing you’re not alone in your journey. It will also be an opportunity for people to share their stories and hopefully help others.
I hope you will all tune in. While it will be cancer stories, we all learn from others and, ultimately, these are human stories, applicable to many other areas of life.

Bringing Awareness to Skin Cancer with Kristen Baerveldt
Today's guest is Kristen Baerveldt, here to share her story and educate us all about skin cancer. She was diagnosed over 16 years ago with Melanoma and has been speaking out ever since.
Skin cancer can happen to anyone. We tend to think of skin cancer as a lesser cancer, not as big a deal as the more known cancers, but it is diagnosed more often that the big ones all combined. And it can be terminal if not caught early.
Kristen shares about the risks, what to watch for, the importance of getting yearly skin checks, and so much more!
This is a powerful episode that everyone with skin needs to pay attention to!
